Volta | A new audio production platform built for and informed by physical space
In the same way that stereo audio dramatically expanded the sonic capacities of audio recording from mono audio, many in the music industry – from engineers at Abbey Road to electronic music pioneers – believe spatial audio is the next logical step on that trajectory. As such, Volta’s primary feature, and the reason for it being built into a 3D environment, is to be a physically interactive (and thus more intuitive) method for editing and mixing spatial audio, than what currently exists.
Digital audio workstations (DAWs for short) are the primary audio production tool for everyone from classical composers to bedroom producers. Volta is not a new DAW, but a new user interface/experience, which translates the utility and functionality of a DAW into a three dimensional environment in virtual reality.
